This is one of the best examples of PTSD and trauma I've seen in the romance genre.

I took some points off for how oddly the passage of time was handled at times. Otherwise, this was a heartfelt and brilliant story that had me in fits of laughter and tears. Highly recommend.

Generally the story was okay, but the writing needs improvement and the ending was too rushed for me

nerolireads's review

Because of the brother-in-law "jokingly" saying Mein Führer to his wife. It was unnecessary and is extremely harmful, especially in a book about trauma and PTSD.
